I am Vegan :) And I like it

So far so good.  I lost two pounds this week.  Whether or not its due to diet change I don't know, but next week I'll know for sure.  i'm going to keep with the vegan diet and keep strictish about it, too!  Losing weight is very motivating!

Still Vegan :)

It's not so difficult afterall.  Lunch might be a challenge today because I'm going out with my cousin, but I think I can manage.  I made southwestern vegan goulash.  It was yummy!  And it's what's for dinner tonight :)
 
I'm turning out to be not too bad of a cook!!

I am still Vegan

Day two of being vegan.  I'm still doing it, though today i'm probably more flexatarian than vegan.  I'm making goulash tonight.  Not on purpose, either.  I decided I wanted to try my Boca crumbles and then I added tomatoes.  And then I decided it was close enough so I made goulash.  it's YUMMY!  It makes me think I did something wrong and that it's not really vegan/vegetarian/flexatarian because it's really good!!  Very tastey.  The tomato soup I used wasn't organic though.  It's way too sweet, but I think I toned it down a bit. 
 
Just thought I'd share :)

I am vegan....maybe

I made a halfassed decision yesterday to be vegan as a health thing.  Not because I'm against eating animals or animal products.  I'm a steak and potatoes kinda girl and for health reasons I need to be a sticks and twigs girl for a while.  Not sure how long this phase will last.  While I'm not hungry (had broccoli and hummus for lunch) i'm far from satisfied.  Dinner will most definitely be a challenge, but I'll try!!  I am going to try for two or three weeks to see how it goes.
 
A whole slew of one year anniversaries for mom are coming up.  Yesterday was 10 months.  Friday is one year for when she went in the hospital.  I had to get a mammogram this morning and had a hard time with flashbacks to mom's stay in the hospital.  But I got through it.  Plus having your chest crushed tends to take your mind off of EVERYTHING but the pain!
